The study objectives were to identify the practice patterns of PTs treating workers suffering from acute\/subacute back pain, with and without radiating pain below the knee, and to assess the relationship between these patterns and characteristics of PTs.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Methods\u2002<\/jats:bold> PTs working in private clinics in the province of Quebec, Canada were invited to participate. Each PT used a self\u2010administered questionnaire to record, for each treatment session, treatment objectives, interventions used and education given to two workers with back pain, one without radiating pain (n\u2003=\u2003189\u2003PTs) and one with radiating pain (n\u2003=\u2003136\u2003PTs). Multiple correspondence analysis with hierarchical classification was used to identify practice patterns of PTs. Multinomial logistic regressions were used to assess the relationship between practice patterns and PTs characteristics.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Results\u2002<\/jats:bold> For workers without radiating pain, 51.9% of PTs focused their treatment on soft tissue mobilizations\/massage and heat, 24.3% focused on the McKenzie approach and related interventions, and 23.8% focused on exercises and function. Similar results were found for workers with radiating pain. Most of the PT characteristics were not related to practice patterns.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Conclusions\u2002<\/jats:bold> The practices of PTs appeared to be separated into three distinct patterns. These practice variations suggest that there may be disagreement or uncertainty among PTs in the management of work\u2010related back pain. The lack of evidence for the majority of interventions used by PTs and the difficulties of integrating evidence into clinical practice may be possible explanations.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1365-2753.2006.00725.x","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2007,5,19]],"date-time":"2007-05-19T16:20:59Z","timestamp":1179591659000},"page":"412-421","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":14,"title":["Practice patterns of physiotherapists in the treatment of work\u2010related back pain"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"13","author":[{"given":"St\u00e9phane","family":"Poitras","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"R\u00e9gis","family":"Blais","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Bonnie","family":"Swaine","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Michel","family":"Rossignol","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2007,5,18]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_6_2_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/14034948990270030801"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_3_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/978-1-349-20781-7"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_4_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2106\/00004623-199072090-00002"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_5_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/00007632-199405310-00002"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_6_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/00002508-199403000-00009"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_7_2","first-page":"929","article-title":"Hospitalizations for back and neck problems: a comparison between the Province of Ontario and Washington State","volume":"33","author":"Taylor V.
